Chapter 3 End of flashback

I was back to the present now. With that promise at her dying state in my mind, I had the belief that the girl which I had just seen was the comeback Amy. I was anticipating Kenny to come back and tell me all he had found out about the girl.

I went to the bar and sat down. I was too excited that I could collapse that moment if I kept standing. I sat down and dropped my drink. The lady I had just seen took hold of my mind.

The barman seems to see my state and he engaged me in a discussion.

"Hello sir. Is there anything wrong." The barman asks as he gazed at me with a concern look.

"Oh! Hello. There is nothing wrong with me." I replied as I gazed uncomfortably.

"You don't look comfortable. " He pointed out.

"Oh, I am very comfortable. But why are you questioning me this way? I just came to seat here and you are acting like we have knew each other for years. That is a strange behavior if you ask me." I replied sternly.

The barman seemed uneasy by my statement. It seemed I had been too harsh on him. He was only trying to show concern about my well being.

"I am sorry if I have embarrassed you. I didn't mean to." The barman apologized. His apology made me feel a bit sorry for him.

"No, I am sorry for that. I was only concerned that something. What I have in my mind is affecting my behavior." I apologized solemnly.

The barman seemed to understand my position as he started to share some things with me. I began to think that we could be great pals.

He started to tell him tales after tales and that made me distracted a bit. In that situation, distraction was what I needed most.

I was so infatuated by these tales that I didn't know how time went back. Just as he finished one of his tales, I snapped back and remembered that I had told Kenny to find out about the strange girl that I had seen.

Now, I knew how Kenny got confused sometimes. I could guess that Kenny would be looking all over for me now. Quickly I left the bar and went to search for him as well. I could imagine him yelling at me upon seeing me.

As I passed by, I watched everyone passing by to the exit door. I was so deliberate at doing this that I hit a lady who was coming from the opposite direction. It wasn't intentional. It happened as I was looking at the opposite direction, I mistakenly jammed my body against hers. I managed to grab her before she fell and glanced at her.

Oh goodness!

It was emotional. It was heart melting. It was so empathical that I lacked words to express it.

Right there in my arms were the lady I had seen. It was my comeback Amy. I didn't know what I was doing that I mistakenly called her name.

"Amy." I called.

"Yes. How do you know my name?" The lady replied.

I let her on her feet properly and looked at her tenderly.

"How do you know my name?" She asked again as she gazed at me back in concern. She was probably suspicious of me a total stranger who knew her name.

That moment, I had wished to tell her all and that she was my comeback Amy but I couldn't. I felt like confessing my love to her immediately and let our love continue but I couldn't just bring myself to do it. It seemed so improper.

"You haven't told me how you knew my name." Amy said as she looked inside my eyes deeply.

"I don't think you would want to know." I replied with a smile.

"Really? Why do you think so?" She asked back. I was getting drawn closer to her. My past Amy also had the same inquisitive nature.

"You don't need to know, my dear Amy. Moreover, we are going to meet very soon. Maybe then, I would tell you." I tell her making her more confused. However, Amy didn't pursue the matter like I had thought. She left there immediately with a show of courtesy.

Just as she left my sight, I saw Kenny calling out for me. I heeded him and went to see him.

"Everything fits. She might as well be your past Amy." Kenny says as soon as I got to him. He was bursting to talk.

"Yes, I know right. What have you found out about her?" I asked with anxiousness ridden in my voice. I was quite bewildered and I considered what could have happened if I had missed the party.

"Well, a lot. I don't think we should discuss it here. Why don't we go home?" Kenny said and I agreed with him.

Everything seemed done there and I headed for home where a real inquisitive session would fan out.

As soon as we got home, I didn't let Kenny remove his shoes before I started pumping him with different questions.

"Calm down, Jason. Let's be cool about this. I will tell you all I have found out so calm down, okay?" Kenny said.

When Kenny was done removing his shoes, he got a cup of water for himself then sat down and face me.

"I think it is better you talk now. You are keeping me anxious." I tell him but he just laughed it off.

"Okay, let me tell you what I have found out.." Kenny says.

"Okay.." I replied.

"No more interruptions." Kenny pressed.

"I got that."

"You are still interrupting. " Kenny persisted.

Now, I didn't talk again. Kenny was acting like he held something up against me. I felt like punching him but I needed the information. He had it and he was using it against me.

"Okay then." He starts as he gains in on my face. "Her name is Amy just like your past lover. Turns out that she is an orphan. She was raised by one doctor in town. They call his name Kimbro."

I couldn't stop myself from interrupting.

"Who is Kimbro?"

"The man who raised her." Kenny replied.

"Continue."

"OK, Kimbro is a doctor by profession. He works and lives near the valley. Don't worry, I got the address. Kimbro has no kids and he seemingly adopted Amy as his child."

"So that's it?" I asked.

"Yeah. The men didn't want to tell me too much about her. They almost tagged me strange." Kenny said.

"I will go see her." I tell Kenny.

"Really? Well, I have no objections. You really should go see her, you know. However, I don't know how she would take it. Since she has no memories of you, she might be likely to disbelieve your story." Kenny pressed.

"I know." I replied.

"What do you want to do now?" He asked me. He also seemed to be worried about the situation.

"I have to see her. I won't tell her outrightly. First of all, let me see her. I believe everything would roll out on its own in due time." I said to Kenny as I watched him closely.

"Okay, I got that." He replied.

We were both silent with each of us envisaged in different thoughts. I was thinking about Amy but I didn't know of his own thoughts.

I had only one thing in mind and that was to see Amy.
